Under Karin's brutal treatment, Sasuke finally recovered.
The group then packed up and prepared to set out in search of Sakura Haruno.
After searching the Land of Fire for several days, Meihui and the others still hadn't found the slightest trace of Sakura.
"Meihui, is Sakura Haruno really in the Land of Fire?"
Sasuke was growing dissatisfied. They had already spent several days dawdling around the Land of Fire, and he felt they were wasting time.
"Don't rush. Let's keep looking. We might find something."
In truth, Meihui wasn't sure where Sakura was anymore. He had even found time to visit the cave where Tobi had been last time, only to discover that Tobi was gone too. He had no idea where he might have gone.
But their immediate priority was finding Sakura Haruno. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly wreak havoc somewhere.
In a small village in the Land of Water, Sakura washed her blood-covered hands. The corpses strewn across the ground testified to what had just happened.
Sakura's current strength was solidly beyond Kage Level. In these remote backwaters, killing people was as easy as killing Kun. By the time she was slaughtering her third village, Mei Terumi discovered her.
"Well, well. You must be Sakura Haruno, the new rogue ninja Konoha put a bounty on."
Without another word, Mei Terumi spat out water.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
An enormous dragon's head materialized and snapped at Sakura Haruno. Even Madara had suffered at Mei Terumi's hands.
"Stop testing me. Let me see just how strong the Mizukage really is."
Sakura easily dodged Mei Terumi's attack and revealed her Chakra Scalpel.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
Mei Terumi piled the pressure on Sakura Haruno right from the start.
This technique could melt even Susanoo, and Sakura sensed how dangerous it
